I'm developing an iPart for iMIS using angular and I'm curious how to handle the initial view of my app.

If we assume my iPart is being rendered from within a piece of Content, let's say at the following path:

/aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd/content.aspx

And with a relative base href:

<base href="./">

What would be the best way to display my initial view? (let's call the Component HomePageComponent)

At the moment the only ways I can make it work is to either

• Hardcode the default view based on the content page rendering the app (i.e. {path: 'content.aspx', component: HomePageComponent})
• Redirect to it from the wildcard catch all (i.e. {path: '**', redirectTo: '/home'})

I'm not a huge fan of either of these methods as the first one will fall over if I want to render the app somewhere else and the second means I can't use the wildcard catch all to handle improper routes.

Anyone able to provide some clarity on the best way to configure angular iPart routes?
